Migration activity of VSMCs cultured under different conditions. A)- Wound assay istogram: untreated represents quiescent VSMCs cultured in absence of serum; PDGF accounts for VSMCs stimulated for migration with serum supplemented with PDGF-BB; PDGF+Active ribozyme or +Inactive ribozyme are VSMCs stimulated as before and treated with active or inactive ribozymes. B)- Chemotactic activity induced by PDGF-BB on VSMCs. Bars represent the mean ± SE of at least three independent experiments. Data computing the migration activities of VSMCs were statistically elaborated using the unpaired t- test (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01)
